ABOUT THIS VIDEO
In this video, Matt shows you how to do a simple exercise to correct hunchback and forward head posture. This exercise trains the neck muscles to pull the head back which helps correct forward head posture and reduce the severity of your hunchback.
If you do this exercise regularly, you’ll be training muscles along your spine to go into better alignment naturally and easily. This exercise won't fix your hunchback instantly, but it will help you gradually restore your posture if you do it consistently.

I never realized that my posture was So bad until I placed surveillance cameras around my house. After seeing myself on camera I noticed what Horrible posture I have which led me to your podcast. Thanks for the Great Videos!

[@enatp6448]

I'm recovering from 20+ years of computer desk posture. This is great! Thanks 😊

[@TropicalMelonMan]

I'm in a similar situation. I just got started on improving my own posture. How's your posture now; experiencing improvements?

[@Savimbi_]

I am so glad i found your channel!! Your humor is so good that it makes me forget how miserable it is that my posture is making me suffer so much!! Love this! :)

how r u now?

hey please tell me is it worthy???? now ur posture is correct or not ???

Depends on what you wanna look like! Better overall less body pain.

My neck hurts trying to hold my head in the right posture... You know you're screwed up then haha.

Exactly

Did you manage to correct your posture?

Hi, I'm curious, have things improved for you since a year ago?

[@martinulvefeldt8380]

Never seen or sought any video ever that's been so spot on or educational like this one. Thank you!

[@icemasterqueen1]

The exercises and explanation Matt provides are worth gold. I feel immediate relief.

[@marshallday6413]

I just discovered this channel, man this guy is great. I also love the fact that he does it with minimal equipment, that puts him above the rest for me!

[@shantitanna8033]

Agree with this

[@jazlr721]

Wow, i’ve had this neck pain for months, this exercise helped just within a few minutes. Thanks!!

[@karinabailey8862]

Thank you so much for these exercises 🙏 Starting the process to improve my posture here in the UK. You're awesome!

[@TomNavesink]

Hi, I just discovered your channel and this particular video is a godsend. I have had a tremendous amount of problems recently with hunchback and really hunched neck. I have tried a few things, but this appears to be superb. Again, thank you so much.

[@johnsinclair2672]

Brilliant. Makes perfect sense. Love your teaching, and hour! 🙏🏻💖

[@SuzFind]

I really like this guy's teaching style! The hands-behind-head resistance exercise is super easy to do at my desk - while keeping abs tight and spine neutral. I've set a timer to remind myself throughout the day to do these and the wall exercises (separate video in his series). Matt, so glad I found you!! Thank you so much!!!! Happy to be a patron via patreon. What a great idea, btw!!

[@Sarai_Anna_bornagain]

How often does your timer go off?

[@daisymay9236]

Awesome info. Thxs for "giving" and sharing your talents!

[@Sincebrassnorstone]

I love how you explained th difference between chin tucks and the exercises you demonstrated. Thirty years ago,I took a series of Alexander lessons and intuitively came to this conclusion. Knowing the *correct* posture doesn't help if you don't have the muscle to support it🙏🌈

[@VicBxxx]

Brilliant help as ever 🙏

[@pugmcmuffins9282]

Thank you so much for these videos. I crochet. A lot. I love this creative hobby that I'm trying to turn into a career but it created a dowager's hump and since I'm only 25, it hurt my self esteem. But two months with a back brace and these exercises have made it go down and my neck is becoming more upright. Thank you for your help!

very useful, especially the explanation about resistance.

[@Miles_on_bikes]

Really helpful stuff, thanks!

[@redwing1067]

Thanks for this helpful video! I went with a cloth band that was easier on the hair and also wide. Feels really good-like the head is being cradled, and at the same time gently exercising the muscles.

[@daniellekleinhoffify]

I’ve been going to a chiropractor who is doing similar exercises to this - wish I’d seen this before - I like this one so much better than what I’m being shown there

[@BobSmith-rr8rw]

Hi Matthew, Great teaching!

[@curtbarnes4294]

you guys are so valuable! thanks. humorous insets are a bonus

[@cathgiray8339]

This is so informative. I've been using the chin tuck exercise. Taught by my PT. All you've said about it is true LOL. i'm glad i found your vid. It's so helpful. I'll be doing this everyday. This feels so nice. Thank you so much! 🥰

[@gailhall6994]

Thank you so much!!! Haven't tried them yet, but I have been wondering what I can do to take my head back; I am almost to the point of it going straight forward when I'm not thinking about it. So, I searched online and found you. It all makes sense and I am really going to try these techniques. I am 69 and my head has always gone forward, so I don't know how much I can hope to achieve, but I am certainly going to try!!! Again, THANK YOU!!!

I've been doing careful stretching exercises , laying flat on my bed a few times a day with my head slightly off the bed. It has been helping. Today I started floor exercise on my back with a rolled towel . I'm going to add these gentle exercises as well. I've noticed that my neck doesn't seem as short and I feel a little taller. Trying to be more conscious of my posture all day and doing gentle core body exercises to strengthen my abdomen. Thank you for this video!

[@amycicoria5613]

Im having hard time for a straight posture especially in my back, sitting/standing straight requires me a great effort, after a minute I just realized that I'm hunchback again

[@katherinelucas2161]

Brilliant. Thank You.

[@lilbahadurchetri4361]

This is very useful video for forward head problems.

[@nancyfahey7518]

When I first started doing the side pushing there was cool cracking going on. Didn't hurt. I think is was good. No more cracking going on.

[@arguchik]

Nice addition, with the resistance band! I've been doing the isometric exercises for a few weeks now - front, back, left, right, diagonally on both sides, and also a "twist" move (hand to jaw, push against as if to turn your head) - to fix a sore spot in my neck and to help my posture. It's a great idea to escalate the resistance by using a band.

Thanks Matt, great vid! Definitely something I’ll add to my current physio. Quick question, any chance you might be able to make a video about dos vs donts when training the cervical neck flexors? Ie how to avoid the wrong muscles coming into play instead of the ones were actually trying to strengthen?

Thanks for sharing your gifting. I was headed in the right direction, just really needed a little more understanding, RESISTANCE! I have been doing some yoga, yoga trapeze to release the spine, hand weights to strengthen back muscles. All are working, but I needed understanding for the neck muscles. Keep up the great work. Be blessed and stay healthy!

Updatee - okay so I dont really notice any difference but my mom says so otherwise, she was shook but idk i just dont see it loll🙃 maybe it's just me. Okay so im actually noticing a slight change finalllyy, I'll keep going and let u knoww

It's not that you're doing it wrong that lump takes time to get corrected. It is the neck bones get bent downwards you can feel it.

Aloha, Thank you so much for this easy to follow neck strengthening. It will become part of my daily routine. My neck is fused from C-1 thru L-1 and fLops forward. Since I can no longer look down, the rest of my vertebrae are over working and starting to hunch. This will help me to strengthen all of these muscles. Be safe and well.

Hey Jello !! Thanks for such a wonderful explanation. Should I use a correction belt along with these exercises for faster results? I have been suffering from these since years . Also how much time will it take to vanish , as in completely ? Also I heard about the liposuction treatment for it . I will be waiting for your comments on this one 🙂

[@Murraywb]

I've alao just found your channel. I had a girlfriend when i was 20 who was a model and insisted I put my shoulders back. She forgot to push me to keep my head aligned as you have, and my head cannot touch the floor with my chin tucked. I also can't look ahead when I paddle my surfboard. I am going to start with the exercises youve shown and in a few months hopefully I will correct my posture. Thanks so much for showing me how! ❤
